Policy

ASU encourages all eligible members of the university community
to seek support for their instructional, research, public service,
and other creative activities.

In order to protect institutional eligibility for sponsored project funding, ASU
must comply with federal, state, and sponsor requirements for
programmatic, regulatory, fiscal, and property stewardship.
Therefore, principal
investigators (PIs) must comply with the requirements governing
each proposal and award. The Office for Research and Sponsored
Projects Administration (ORSPA) is responsible for verifying PI
compliance and providing certifications of university compliance to
sponsors, upon request.

For more information on how RSP policies are implemented during
each phase of a project, see the ORSPA Web site.
